So my jeep ran great until I start messing with it that is.... I decided I wanted to update my old glass fuse box to a newer cj blade fuse box... I kept my actual harness all I did was swap out the fuse box side ... I even kept the firewall connector from my harness... so I couldn't find a definitive guide on doing this so I grabbed my Haynes manual and did the very best I could.. so im almost 100% sure I got it all correct because my marker lights tail lights tur n signals and all that jazz works BUT I also installed a push button start and also couldn't find a definitive guide to this so I once again did a little research and thought I had it figured out..... but to no avail the jeep wont start or eve turn over im lost please help
 
What did you use to start it prior to the push button (no) start button?

Use a circuit tester and find out if you have power going to the push button. If you do, push the button and determine if you have power leaving the start button. Being a conversion, you're going to need to trace from the known good to find the issue you have now.
 
ive got power coming to the rocker switch and leaving the rocker switch and I have power coming to push button and leaving push button... Ive read up on the light blue wire that is the "start" wire it is only hot in the "start" position which ive tested and that is true ive tested it.. so key all the way in the "start/on" position and im getting power just no crank...never had this problem before I replaced the fuse block and added the push button and im worried that if I take the push button back out im still gunna have the same result which would really leave me baffled... and what really gets me is everything ive turned on so far works... marker lights, brakes, turn signals, running light, blower motor..... I haven't hooked the dash back up all the way yet... I haven't seen any cluster lights come on yet either so im lost
 
Do you have a new solenoid? Have you tried jumping the solenoid? Any chance you could have hooked up the NSS or not hooked it up? Try running a extra wire from your switch to your solenoid.
